Some homes just sit there. This one leans in and says, "Come on in"”I've got stories to tell."
Welcome to 1020 Burton Drive, a solid four-sided brick beauty tucked into one of Atlanta's most convenient pockets"”just minutes (or a brisk 10-minute walk) from Emory, the CDC, and CHOA. With 7 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 4,725 square feet of well-thought-out living space, this home isn't just big. It's "bring everyone and still have elbow room" big.
The main floor is where charm meets function"”gleaming hardwoods, tons of natural light, and an open-concept layout that keeps the living, dining, and kitchen areas connected, without losing their individual vibes. The kitchen features stone countertops, stainless appliances, tile backsplash, a gas cooktop, wall oven, and enough prep space to host Thanksgiving without panic.
Need fresh air? Step outside to a screened-in porch where you can enjoy the outdoors without becoming mosquito lunch, or fire up the grill on the quaint open-air deck just off the main level.
Upstairs you'll find five carpeted bedrooms, including a very spacious primary suite with plenty of room for a king-sized bed, reading nook, yoga mat"”go wild. The en suite bathroom is clean, classic, and ready to serve its spa-like duties. One of the secondary bedrooms has its own en suite, while the other three share a well-placed hall bath. And yes, the laundry room is upstairs, where it belongs. No dragging baskets up and down stairs like it's 1993.
But let's talk about the terrace level, because this isn't your average basement"”it's the glow-up story we all love. The current owners transformed this sunny, walk-out space into a fully functioning guest suite, complete with its own private entrance, a kitchenette, laundry room, two bedrooms, full bath, and generous living space. Use it for rental income, a comfy space for long-term guests, or that home office/creative studio/secret lair you've been daydreaming about.
The fenced backyard is ready for dogs, kids, gardening, or absolutely none of the above"”it's your space. A two-car garage at kitchen level adds daily ease, and with no HOA, you've got freedom and flexibility that's harder and harder to come by.
